HOW THE PRESS STANDS.
Shreveport Times.


Our esteemed contemporary, the De
Soto Democrat, republlshes from the
Terebonne Advocate list of those news
papers which are "for Nicholas and
those which are against Nichols"
The Advocate makes the Nichols pa
pers number twenty-five and the anti
Nichols papers sixty. 1t is true that
from the Nichols list has been omitted
such newspapers as the Abbeville Meri
,lional, the Clinton Waterman, Lake
Charles Commercial, Acadia Sentinel
and Others, which ardently support
General Nichols. and which would
make his press support number thirty
uewspapers, as was originally stated by
the Times. And it is equally true that
of papers classed as antiNiChOlls'
many are favorable to his candidacy,
the moment some home favOrlte steps
out of the way. However, we are will
ling to take the issue as presented-30
papers "for Nichols las we have cor
rected the list), and tifty-t anti
Nicholls.n Now let us see how they
stand on the issue of McEnery" and

Excitement i'm Texas.

Great excitement has been caused in
the vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the re-
markable recovery of Mr. J. Z. Corley,
who was so helpless he could not turn
in bed, OF raise his head !; everybody
said he was dying of Consumption. A
trial bottle of DR.. Kings New Dissolve
nv was sent him. Finding relief, he
bought large bottle and a box of DR..
Kings New Life Pills; by the time he
had taken two boxes of Pills and two
bottles of the Discovery, he was well
and had gained in flesh thirtysix
pounds. Trial Bottles of this Great
Discovery for Consumption free at

Ouachita Telegraph.

Just as the Telegraph stated months
ago nearly every man, woman and
child in Ouachita parish is the personal
friend of Governor McEnery, and
while many do not approve his ad-
ministration, they will support him
from personal considerations. We
cannot agree that Governor McEnery
will gain, Or is gaining, strength in
north Louisiana, especially west of the
Ouachita. With New Orleans against
him, then, and large portion of south

charge of aiding and abetting the alb
duction of the favorit Fatima, by Ba-
ron Nadetz, young French diplomat

love-letters between the parties, also to
having supplied the beautiful Fatima
with the complete outfit of a Savoyard
organ grinder. barrel-organ and mon
key included, thus assisting her escape.
The happy couple got safely to Paris.
where the fair Oriental abiured the
faith of her fathers and was married
to the Baron in the Church of the Mad
eleine. At the ceremony quite tiutter
of excitement was created among the
Paris ladies by set Of Oriental pearls
said to be worth 5000, 600 piastres.
which Fatima had brought with her as
a souvenir of Murad PaSha and his ha-
rem. Selim, who had already received
fifty strokes of cane by order of his
master. now soleinnly appealed to Al

Death Rate Among Rich and Poor.

Some quite suggestive statistics re-
garding the death rate in various class
es of society, including the extremes,
have been published by Miss Vickery,
an English female physician of note.
From these tables it appears that it is
the unhealthiness of the .'slums' which
runs up the bills of mortality. Not
withstanding the great improvement in
sanitary matters, the death rate in
England and in Wales seems to have
remained practically the same for the
last forty wears. The extraordinary
difference between the mortality of the
rich and the poor is shown in the state
ment that i'm the second quarter of the
wear cited the death rate in London for
Hampstead was twelve and one-half per
thousand. but twenty-five in Bethnal-
Green The mean age at death among
the richer classes in England j. iifty-tive
years. among the general population
fortv-one. and the artisan class only
twenty-nine and onc-half. the rich thus
getting twenty-five years more of life
than the poor.
